House Stalwart lives again. I got permission from Bel to go ahead and recreate the guild to make sure that we would keep the name. So throughout the night tonight plan on whispering one of the regular officers to get reinvited into HS. I know it will take a bit to get everyone but we will do it. HS is truly a group that will get through this.
And for those of you in DRC, we are going tonight. We have a plan and it will work.
Well the news has circulated by now... I got hacked. The hacker liquidated all of my characters, ate the guild bank, then transferred belghast off the server and in the process disbanded the guild. I am not really sure whether it is safe to reform the guild right now or if we should wait for the restore. However in the meantime please join the channel HouseStalwart. This will let us keep in contact. I am sorry everyone is having to go through this right now, god knows it is making life pretty unbearable for me personally.
I do however suggest that each and every one of you right now go out and get a blizzard authenticator, because careful browsing is not enough. I did everything right. I ran firefox, noscript, and adblock plus as well as an updated flashplayer and anti virus and still got hacked. I got one of the first authenticators available, but it stopped working awhile back and had to unbind it from my account and blizzard never sent the promised replacement. Without that final layer of security I was as vulnerable as if I were clicking on every email virus out there.
We will get through this. House Stalwart is more than a construct in a video game, we are a family that extends beyond these pixels. I've put in the necessary petitions to get things restored, now I am just praying that blizzard can set things right.
I am sorry I failed you guys, but I will do my best to bring things back into balance.
3.1 and all the goodness it contains is finally here. Will post patch mirrors as I find them. For Duranub members, no raid tonight 4/14/2009 we will resume 4/16/2009
Also there will be no Sarth-avon tomorrow Wednesday 4/15/2009 as to save the OS25 Lock for duranub.
I am totally using the frontpage of Stalwart as a person platform today. I just needed to acknowledge the massive amounts of help that various folks have given me in getting Belghast ready to be a full on raid tank. This expansion I have been tanking my ass off but have felt like such a mooch when it came to materials. Having no harvesting abilities on Bel has been a horrible horrible thing. I had originally planned on trying to level Exeter up to mine and feed Bel, but the amount of time spent tanking has destroyed that notion.
Last night I accomplished 440 Engineering but there is no way in hell I could have done it without massive amounts of help from a long list of folks. For those not familiar with engineering, 440 is the magical level that allowed me to create the last hat I will ever wear (maybe not literally but its nigh impossible to beat). So onwards to the thanks.
Erixi - for the insane amount of Saronite you chipped into the cause. Thalen - for the tons of cobalt and loan of the 8 titanium bars needed to make the hat. Audrae - for a ton of cobalt and assorted mats I needed to assemble the final hat. Shodan - for a ton of cobalt that helped make the final push possible. Ehlanna - for cobalt that helped with the leveling. Kylana - for saronite and cobalt that helped me get started. Giulietta - I think chipped in some cobalt but I know he has given up many gems along the way.
I know the fear with naming people is that you end up forgetting someone, and if I did I am extremely sorry, but I had to name the folks I know gave massively of their own stocks to help a broke tank out.
In other thanks, I still owe massive debts of gratitude to Shodan, Erixi, Damai, and Kylana for help with crafting my Gun and Shield. And then on top of that all the people who have been helping me with greens to push up enchanting. I was able to hit 435 last night and can now do Armsman to glove and the coveted Titanweave.
I love you guys no matter what, but I am just flabbergasted by the amount of help and support you all have given me.
